Despite all arguments South Africa is facing a total skills loss within the next 5 years. No matter what training system is emplaced it will not be able to function due to corruption and funding. So what is wrong with the Mining Community, Steel Manufacturing Community, Eskom, Telkom, and Government?
I know for a fact that power-players are forcing people to work for less money because of the economic instability factor. Still skills development bodies will only accept applicants that is sponsored by companies and mining groups. They will NOT allow individuals to do their trade. “To my knowledge this is still true to this day.”
I must also mention that skills development programs that are sponsored by Government remains race based... So equality is a commercial fallacy and exploitation from the company’s side is clearly visible to every single employee! Now how can there be a future?
The answer is simple; I predict that we will see more outsourcing to the point where all high paying jobs will be contracted-out to other countries. Again this will reflect negatively on our economy thus I cannot see the upside of this system but this IS the system that is enforced right now and we can only wonder what the outcome will be...
